Sewing the sleeves
First you are going to sew the front and back pieces together at the shoulders. Place the front and back pieces with the right sides together. Sew the shoulder seams. Finish the seam allowances and press towards the back.
If you are using the normal sleeve, then there is no need to do anything to it before attaching it to the jacket body.
But if you are using the curved sleeve the two pieces have to be joined together before being attached to the jacket body.
Put the pieces together with right side facing and sew the sleeve together as shown.
Sew the sleeves into the armholes. Note the placement markers! Ease the space between the dots in if necessary. Finish off the seam allowances and press inwards.
Sew the sleeve and side seams in one operation. Finish the seam allowances and press towards the back.
Pls I wish to know the name good fabrics used for sew suits for men thanks.
Wool or wool-blend gabardine or serge would be ideal, or for a more winter-style jacket, wool melton.
Or if you need a light weight one, polyester or cotton would be ideal.
